I made a barrel stove.

Might need to use some sheet metal crimpers so the pipe will slide together.

Thanks Alex.

Anyone have any ideas about sealing up the chimney pipe when I run it through a corrugated roof? I'd just cut close and silicone it up, but the roof has so little pitch that I'm afraid any obstruction will just cause a puddle. Actually, I'm going to do exactly that. I've been putting this job off for too long. One channel of occasional puddled water won't be a big deal. I've been thinking about making some elaborate corrugated cricket for a week now.

Anyone have any tips on assembling the black stove pipe I have? I have a 4' black pipe (single wall) and a 6' galvanized pipe (single wall). The galvanized is flimsy and pushed right together. The black pipe is just stiff enough that I feel like I'm trying to press two nails together. I feel like a giant ape when I fumble around with it. Do I just throw my gloves on and be a man about it, or is there a secret? It doesn't help that the pipe they sent me is all bent out of shape either.

High temp silicone.

Thanks Jim. I bought a tube locally. I ordered some fire rope gasket from Amazon, but it is way too thick. It fits perfectly in the lid, but fills it up completely and can't get it to clamp onto the barrel. I'll have to go find a much thinner kind.

Hghclsswhitetrash: I'll probably do that around the pipe through the roof. I guess I'll try to have it done by this weekend, minus the cinder block wall.

I have found fire rope at Ace Hardware in varying sizes for my ammo can stove.

I got the barrel stove all together tonight.

enthusiast: Thanks for the tip. I just decided to put the lid on with the clamp and no gasket. I'm sure it will be fine. If it isn't, I can go back and do it again later.

I got that pipe fitted together finally. I stood in my garage and thought of all the role model men on this site that I am surrounded by, HBARleatherneck, who only stops making kids long enough to dig his own septic tank by hand, build a pole barn, and lay 200 yards of concrete sidewalk. Jim, who after having me turn down an offer to buy his bench top vice for $50 because I couldn't afford it, immediately tried to get me to buy his house for $225,000. MickBoy, who kicks in 7 doors each morning before breakfast, on a Saturday. BaileyGuns, who delivers the same political argument 50 times in a row each month, but doesn't get angry until the 49th time. And finally Ronin, who said such mean things behind his secretary's back, that she would probably cry if he ever said them to her face.

I thought of all those influential men, put on my gloves, and wrestled that sum'bitch till I got it together!


I also drilled a hole and relocated the damper to about 6" below the top of the pipe, so it will be about 3.5' above the stove:


The pipe is all bent up from trying to jam it into the cast iron flue. I can fit the wide side of the galvanized in, but not the black pipe. I plugged up the holes where the damper used to be with that high temp gasket cement that Jim posted earlier.

I have LOTS of scap wood, if you come get it.

Irving..........you're alright.

Is your cell number still the same from a few years ago?

Irving..........you're alright.

Thanks!

enthusiast; just realized you said you have an ammo can stove. Any chance you have pictures you could put on here? I was thinking of trying to build one of those next. I want something to heat up a hunting blind for coyotes.

I just found the other thread I posted it in. I am going to make a 40mm version also.
